 Welcome to digital asset news to get top stories and cryptocurrency and digital assets and break them down to bite-sized piece this day We've got some pretty interesting stuff first up the SEC filing shows in black rock with its nine trillion assets under management Help Bitcoin futures contracts worth a measly 6.15 million. That's not a big story The big story is what executives are saying about gold over there in black rock and how it can potentially affect Cryptocurrency and digital assets. So take a look at that on top of my talk to you today about why I believe that April is not going to be a stellar month for crypto and how may and Potentially June is going to be the breakout month and why I think that is and finally we'll follow it up with talking about What the heck is going on with a voyager and its price as it crashes at the ground? So we'll take a look at those three stories, but first let's take a look at going on the market So today it is April 3rd 2021 it is high noon here in Puerto Rico still here probably be here until Monday as we close up some dealings and businesses and such and Pretty great place. I got to tell you so far so good and let's take a look at the market and see what we got So Bitcoin is up 7% for seven days pretty good. It's slipped below the 61,000 mark now we're at 59,000 so Little bit of consolidation so every new to the market Just know that that's pretty much how it goes a little bit up a little bit down Sometimes three steps forward one step back sometimes 20 steps forward and two steps back and some It's just the exact opposite, but that is cryptocurrency and that's what we have Ethereum up 22% for a seven day and 1% for 24 hours So congratulations all you Ethereum holders looks like it's a pretty good day for you I'm actually talked about this yesterday about how I talked about how Ethereum is actually making good things actually it was Believe what it comes down to it's a second layer solution Which is really doing well for Ethereum and and the market responded so we'll see if this can actually keep up So congratulations finance coin up 34% for seven days again Binance coin doing great things as it's taking really taking away market share from the theorem as people are starting to Trade over there not start they've been doing this for quite some time for their decentralized exchange on the Binance smart chain And that we'll see if that continues. Dot is pumping massively 31% in seven days USDT Cardano mad down 0.5% is nothing's really going on and I think that's going to be pretty stagnant for a while The merry hard work already happened go again smart contracts and they're saying within six months You're gonna be able to do a basic smart contracts for Basic languages and for programmers. So I mean nothing really is it gonna go on for kind of for quite some time I think it'll just be flat a little bit high But again, it's been a great year so far XRP up, you know, so I mean everything's up. Let's just let's just call what it is and I think this is looking pretty good Let's take a look. Well, we have done a while and if you notice that I switched back to coin gecko for for this episode usually we would trade a chain, but I wanted to go over some things and just take a look at what would happen if you would have Just bet on Bitcoin and traded in Bitcoin. Well When coin gecko you can do this you can train you can change it all over and see what it would be If you just did in Bitcoin, well Bitcoin be zero, right? But if you were trading a theory maybe up 13 and a half percent over seven days If you would unbind that's coin 24 percent dot 22 percent XRP 1.7 like coin Man 23 percent for file coin thing great. Wow Tron 53 percent you would have been up 53 percent if you would have gone against Bitcoin 33 percent for EOS crazy What? Solana 33.2 percent. I mean just the list going on 92 percent for BitTorrent Congratulations BitTorrent holders my friend George is ecstatic today. They're crushing it 20 percent. Okay be a hundred 18 percent for For a hollow chain man. That's pretty good. Now. Let's take a look if we were just going to Get into Ethereum. So Ethereum is very hot, right doing pretty well Well, if you would have gone to Binance coin last seven days 10 percent dots 8 percent You would have missed out on a lot of other places file coin not what I'm eight and a half percent Tron 35 percent 17 percent If you would have gone against the theory You could have made a killing on EOS, but who who to who to thunk it as we say 69 percent for BitTorrent and so on and so forth. So again Let's take a look at the markets Just know that there's a lot of opportunities out there and it really depends on what your goals are Are you a long-term investor? That's pretty much what I do. I just kind of like buy and hold Are you one of those day traders who likes to get in and out or you like a you know a long-term trader? Maybe you you trade for a little bit whole for a while and then let go again Everybody's situation is different. So this channel is not financial advice entertainment purposes only so whatever your Whatever your goals are are your goals. I can't wait tell you what to do and that's pretty much about it But that's what's going on the market. Let's jump into today's top story and this is it's It's great to know that a huge Institution such as BlackRock as first of all they talked about Bitcoin Then it's been revealed by the SEC fund that yes They actually do hold a bit of Bitcoin as far as like a futures contract, which doesn't really that much It's not like it's a physical They're holding Bitcoin just a futures contract, but it just signals to what it really does for this story To me is it's like everybody who's in traditional Finance or who's into stocks and who's in the bonds and you have to understand that I know you think that everybody's in the crypto But guess what you're dead wrong Not everybody is like you not everybody's like me when my fatal flaws and I always talk about this I think everybody wants to get into crypto We were talking to our real estate agent and smart lady And I was just trying to explain to her about about cryptocurrency and it was like talking to a toddler Because that's just people just don't understand it like well. Yeah, that sounds like like a pretty good stock I'm like it's not a stock. Okay. Well, just talk to my broker. I'm like, you know, it's called broker You can just you can just buy it. Yeah, well, it sounds pretty good because the interest rate might there's no interest rates It's you just buy it and then you just hold it or you want to trade whatever you want to do So I know like again like you think that I have the same problem You know, you think that this is the world. We are so early You have no idea how early we are go down the street and ask somebody about Bitcoin might know it Ask somebody about Ethereum. Ask somebody about Binance. Ask somebody about tomato coin. Well, I mean, no one's gonna know those things They just not and that's just pretty much how it is. So When I see these types of stories This is just to me like like a sales pitch because people have to see things seven ten fifteen times before they actually get it so when you're international finance and you see these These gods up on mountain Olympus as you want to calm I mean black rock is kind of like the pinnacle of the, you know financial institutions with their mind truant acid management When you see they're dabbling at it You like maybe I should get into that and that just kind of moves the goalpost and it's just the game of inches just like football so this is I think a pretty good story and What is going on essentially is that this is That's So on March 31st There was global allocation fund it held 37 Bitcoin futures contracts with 6.15 million and this was actually in an SEC filing Again on March 26th, and it had already appreciated in value by some 360,000 But just so you know these holdings 37 contracts in total were about point zero three percent of the firm's Global allocation fund so not that much and that's just how it is but when you're a publicly traded company then of course you're going to have to you know file with the SEC and That's it's just how we actually know what's going on So they're dabbling into it It signals to other people that hey this is you know a legitimate type of thing You should probably get into it again and everybody's like you and everybody's like me don't just get it yet So they need these types of cues these types of signals from other traditional players ago Okay, this makes sense. So that's the story in its really entirety the rest of it's kind of boring I mean, that's just how it is But the thing that I that caught my eye was this last piece where it says black rock exact executive Russ Kostrich says gold's ability to hedge Against inflation has been somewhat exaggerated again You have to take a look at the clues as to all the different gold bugs all the different traditional people are like, hmm If black rocks doing that and that's really smart money Maybe I should listen up the writer stress that people are looking for store houses of value So if you're into gold, you're really hedging your bet just like a Jim Kramer always talked about who is now on the Bitcoin Bandwagon, so if you're doing this, you're like, hmm Maybe I should really start to hedge even more because maybe I could have gold Maybe I could have Bitcoin which totally makes sense to me I don't know why these crazy gold bugs don't give their followers the right information But they just don't because they're greedy and I want to go into it, but I Would just say this If we could capture a small percentage of gold's actual Market cap. So this is the thing I always like to talk about Just the market caps by different assets and and people and industries So like if you take a look at gold gold is 11 trillion dollars probably around 12 trillion dollars right now The total market cap of gold right now Bitcoin is like 1.1 trillion the entire cryptocurrency market is only 2 trillion So if you think that's what I think would be prudent for these investors is to say hey Maybe instead of going so much into gold going to something like a Bitcoin and really hedge your bet imagine if we hit 50% Well, that'd be 6 trillion dollars in Bitcoin. So that's a 5x right there So if you're looking at 5x you're looking at a $300,000 Bitcoin because right now we're around 60,000 5x I bet me using quick math. It's about 300,000 pretty good day For the cryptocurrency market could that happen? I think you could absolutely happen and that's just gold And we're not talking about stock markets money's not my flight global bets global real estate I think that's the next big one when they start to tokenize and they've already done it And it talks to bringing some information about tokenizing real estate on the blockchain Which is different than an REID real estate investment These different types of things where they actually take up, you know parts of the real estate and you can you can purchase it I'm talking about tokenizing real estate imagine that tokenizing real estate is a 280 trillion dollar industry We knew something like that and put it in a cryptocurrency Then the visual asset market it would just blow up. So I Think that this is one of our hallmark years. I think it's gonna be great So let me know what you think of the comment section. Let's move on to our next piece I'm gonna talk to you about when that's all gonna happen. So I Had to pull some some quick data because I we all know that you know There's the four-year cycle talk about a long time, right? And now we're in the all-time high Years if you haven't heard of my four-year cycles go watch any video. I've done in like the last six months I'll talk about all the time. So like with this one here, I I've just pulled bitcoins chart And I want to take a look at that particular all-time high year and you can see like in 2017 This sorry 2013 Going back in time. We take a look at the end of April Bitcoin was like 135 bucks. Wouldn't that be fantastic? But then because it doesn't go beating beyond that and it kind of dipped down a little bit now in May We have 111 112 or 13 and just kind of went sideways for a little bit on 28 sideways sideways a little bit of a dip here Until July sideways sideways August it kind of rebounded and all of a sudden it was just off the races That's a pretty good pretty decent look, but I think this one's more telling. This is when we take a look at 2017 so if we're taking a look here at 2017 Let me fast forward here. This is January for March. Let me blow this up so you can see so here if we're taking a look at 2016 moving forward November December January February March, take a look at the price of Bitcoin March So not too bad people always say like March is in a great year for cryptocurrency. It's not awful Look, you have a lot of almost $1,200 in March 1191 1,258 1074 so bit of a dip 1036 a little bit and just sideways action right 1140 up until April So now in April people talking about all this is gonna be great I don't think April's that great of a month like you have 1140 1189 1132 1212 1183 back down to the 14th and the 15th it kind of just becomes stagnant What's going on around April 15th? That's when taxes are due and in the United States I don't know where you're at, but it's a you know It's a lot of money being slashed around and people need to pay their taxes and around April 15th The only place that's really liquid 24 7365 as you guessed it the cryptocurrency market So after around this time people start to liquidate things because they need to pay for their taxes And after that it's off to the races 1321 1349 1400 1500. This is in May now mind you And we're gonna keep going up 1700 $2,000 in May and up we go and then of course 2700 we kind of drop back down And I think I see the same type of thing going on in our market right now So you have to remember though on one thing that is this When we're talking about taxes this could probably happen again The thing is nowadays we're not nowadays just for this particular year The IRS in America has pushed us back from April 15th to May 15th So I believe people have a little bit more time to save their taxes, but they're still going to lipple fly And they're still going to sell their cryptocurrency So I believe towards the end of May and June we're gonna see a pretty stellar month But that will only happen after that time frame after people sell for their taxes Also, I want to take it have you take a look at this and this is what we're talking about as far as That's just Bitcoin. Let's take a look at Ethereum the same type of thing, right? Because we can't just take a look at Bitcoin. I'm gonna take a look at Alts How about one of the King of the Alts? What should we take a look at this? We're looking at Here's 2017 so again in March. Wow, look at that $19 for an Ethereum 23 28 34 So actually doing to pretty good in March 2017 44 41 50 52 and then it ended up at 50 actually doubled in price in March So when people say that March is a good good month not too bad for Alts and then so let's take a look at April 48 45 44 so it drops down again because what are people doing? They're selling for their taxes 47 48 and then what happens here after the taxes now it starts to do this 50 bucks $77 89 96 and then up it goes and up it goes so When you have any type of if you're taking a look at like what could potentially happen Look at tax season. Look what's gonna happen now again April 15th It's good for Americans. It get if it's gotten pushed forward to May 15th So I think Towards right after May end of May early June. That's what we're gonna see a little bit more fireworks about what's gonna happen I'm with crypto and visual assets. So let me know as you think in the comment section Let's move on to one of our last pieces Oh before I forget if you if you're looking for help with your taxes crypto trader tax There is a link in the description Dan viewers get 20% off.

All right and last up Wouldn't be a story if we didn't talk about a little voyage So Voyager what the heck is going on here? Well? Let's be honest. Voyager isn't doing so hot right, right? So Voyager in its entirety right now we're looking at Not too great of Of a price tag. Let's take a look here. Let's put in US dollars. There we go. It's a little better So four dollars and five cents. What's happened over the last? Let's say Our 24 hours seven days not too great, right? And we've let's take a look at the seven day Still going down. So we were at 525. Now we're four bucks. I actually were at 390 pretty awful, right? Let's take a look at the last two weeks Yeah Went up a little bit but still went down So it's been a pretty tumultuous time frame and what's going on here Well, if you don't know there is going to be a token swap for LGO Which was the merger that they had for the institution for the exchange over there in France Which they are merging with the LG LGO token and Voyager token There's gonna be a token swap towards the end of April around May 1st or so so until that time And I've said this has been my third time talking about it I said it's either going to decrease The the actual price for the Voyager token or just gonna trade sideways. So we're we went down a little bit. That's awful Isn't it awful? No, it's not awful. I'll tell you why so first of all, I want you to back up my friend did he says when in doubt zoom out take a look at 30 day for Voyager so not too bad, right? It's a little bit down up and down take a look at 90 days All right. Well, we started down here at around 14 cents and then we went all the way up It's almost well was $7 at some point 709 Take a look at 180 days And this is pretty much flat at 12 cents. This is just six months imagine this I was talking about this on the channel January 7th of my price prediction was 29 cents And then people were all ecstatic about it and now people are coming at me like what's up with your with your pick What's up with Voyager and only one up? I don't know thousand percent or something like that And well, I wasn't that much percent of the way 30 10 only went up 20 x 25x. How dare you and now it's down to four bucks Hey, it is what it is Again not financial advice I told you when it was a 29 cents and it do would have gone there We've been great when I got a dollar two dollars three dollars four dollars Sure, and right now some people picked it up at five dollars six dollars seven dollars and they're upset because they didn't hit That that time frame So there's a thing You can you got two options, right? If it was me I can't give you financial advice, but but you really got two options you can Complaint about it and you can say, you know what I'm just going to just sell it a loss. Okay, but I will tell you this I'm not the business to losing money me personally. I'm not doing that I'm gonna hold on because I know that that token swap is coming up I know that that loyalty product program is happening. I know that there's a debit card coming There was a credit card company. There was direct swaps between stocks and cryptocurrency right on the platform I know that there's a seven percent Staking interest rate that I can get just for staking Voyager and right now. This is what I talked about in my tweet. I said look If you're upset because of this price Maybe you went in a little bit too heavy. Maybe I don't recommend that to anybody to me Well, I again me personally I just dollar cost average I'm not going to take a hundred fifty thousand dollars and dump it on Voyager last week and go You know what? I think it's going to go up 10x. That is ridiculous That's why I'm always talking my dollar cost averaging if you just would have said, you know what? Hey, look, I've got Ten thousand dollars five hundred bucks a hundred dollars twenty five cents I don't know what you've got and you're like I'm just gonna put this in a little bit little bit then it usually evens itself out This this this whole Market is super tumultuous. It is very Volatile so don't put everything in all at once. I'm not recommending that I'm not gonna do that for myself But you can do whatever you want to so I said in this in this tweet I go look if you are a Believer in what's going to happen with Voyager if you think it's got a great team We think things are going on pretty well if you and also they're going through growing pains There's no question about that. I even put a customer support ticket on not three days ago. Still hasn't got an answer There's just growing pains because everything is growing so fast But if you don't believe in it then maybe you should get out But if you think like you know what? This is a great opportunity dollar cost average because it was at seven dollars has anything changed has there been a huge hack As the CEO stepped down has the whole team just said, you know what we're done with this place Has there been a lawsuit by the SEC or something like that? Sorry XRP is what it is No, so the fundamentals haven't changed. So if you're looking at like now right now going hmm It's four bucks and it was seven bucks now that loyalty program is gonna come out It's up to you to do your own research and if you want to go down this route then you can but if you don't and it's time to get out and That I say is up to you. Alright, so that is it for today. So first of all, thanks so much for sticking with me I really appreciate it like the video give it a thumbs up also consider subscribing a lot of things that we do talk about our time Sensitive, that's all for today. Thanks so much. See you on the next one
